Consequences of violations .......................................................................................................11 Page 3 of 12 PURPOSE This Code of Conduct for Business Partners (the “Code”) articulates a vision of responsible business behaviour and sets forth the business principles that Polestar1 requires all its Business Partners to abide by in the course of their business relationship with Polestar. The term “Business Partner” covers any person or entity (including its directors, officers and employees) that Polestar does business with, including but not limited to organisations that supply goods or services to Polestar, or that sell Polestar products and services, and representatives who conduct business on Polestar’s behalf. PRINCIPLES Polestar is committed to responsible business and intends to demonstrate this commitment to integrity, business responsibility and trust throughout its value chain. Therefore, Polestar expects the same level of commitment from its Business Partners. By entering into a business relationship with Polestar and during the term of this business relationship, Business Partners are required to: - conduct their business in compliance with applicable laws and regulations (which requires Business Partners to maintain awareness regarding these laws and regulations) and with the principles stated in this Code; and - ensure that their employees and subcontractors are made aware of and comply with applicable laws and regulations and with the principles set forth in this Code; in particular, Business Partners are expected to choose the suppliers they retain in relation with Polestar business with appropriate due diligence, communicate the principles set out in this Code (or equivalent principles) to their suppliers and ensure compliance with these principles. This Code covers Polestar’s requirements and expectations on its Business Partners when it comes to protecting working conditions and human rights, caring for the environment and doing business with integrity (including a zero tolerance policy for bribery and corruption). There may be instances when the principles set forth in this Code differ from local law or customs in a particular country. If that is the case, and local law or customs impose higher standards than those set out in this Code, local law and customs should always apply. On the other hand, if this Code provides for a higher standard, the Code should prevail, unless this results in illegal activity. This Code includes requirements that are based on internationally recognized principles that Polestar strongly supports, such as: - internationally-proclaimed human rights conventions, in particular the International Bill of Human Rights, the eight core conventions of the International Labour Organization2 and Article 32 of the 1 “Polestar” means Polestar Automotive (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (i.e. all persons and entities directly or indirectly controlled by Polestar Automotive (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., where control may be by management authority, equity interest or otherwise). 2 International Labour Organization conventions numbers 29, 87, 98, 100, 105, 111, 138 and 182.

Page 4 of 12 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights; - the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. POLESTAR’S EXPECTATIONS FROM ITS BUSINESS PARTNERS Business Partners are required to meet all of the following requirements in the course of their business relationship with Polestar, and we expect them to be managed professionally and systematically. A. Working Conditions and Human Rights Polestar expects its Business Partners to: - provide their employees with working conditions that are in line with international labour standards, in particular with the eight core conventions of the International Labour Organization; and - respect and promote internationally proclaimed principles for human rights, including children’s rights. Polestar supports the requirements of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and expects its Business Partners to adhere to and respect the ILO standards. Child Labour Business Partners shall work to prevent all forms of child labour. Under no circumstances should employment be offered to a person younger than 15 years of age (or 14 where the national law so allows) or younger than the countries legal minimum age, if higher than 15. Forced Labour There can be no forced labour of any kind relating to Polestar’s business, products and services. Therefore, Business Partners must not use forced labour, regardless of its form. This prohibition includes debt bondage, trafficking and other forms of modern slavery. Terms of Employment Business Partners must guarantee that the working conditions for their employees comply with all applicable legal requirements. In addition, each employee should have the right to receive written information, in a language that they can easily understand, specifying their terms of employment. Wages and benefits Business Partners shall pay employees wages and benefits that meet or exceed the legal minimum standards, collective bargaining agreements or appropriate prevailing industry standards, whichever is higher. Deductions are accepted only in accordance with applicable law, regulations and collective bargaining agreements. Deductions from wages as a disciplinary measure shall not be permitted. Page 5 of 12 Information about wages and benefits must be available to all employees, in a language that they can understand, timely and in accordance with applicable laws. Polestar recommends its Business Partners to provide their employees with a total compensation that is adequate to cover basic needs and enable a decent standard of living. Business partners are also recommended to systematically strive to ensure fair wages. Working Hours Business Partners must comply with applicable legislation regarding working hours (including but not limited to overtime and overtime compensation) and rest rules. Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining Business Partners shall respect the rights of their employees to lawfully form, join or exclude themselves from employer-employee relationship-related associations and to bargain collectively, where permissible by local laws. Business Partners must also ensure that employees are given the opportunity to discuss their working conditions with management without fear of retaliation. Health and safety Safety should always be one of the most important factors in any decision. Business Partners must at all times provide and maintain a safe and healthy working environment that meets, and preferably exceeds, applicable standards and legal requirements. Non-Discrimination and Equal Opportunities Business Partners must not engage in any form of discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, nationality, political opinion, union affiliation, social background or other characteristics protected by applicable law. All employees must be treated with respect, dignity and common courtesy. B. Caring for the Environment Business Partners must ensure that they comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. In addition, Business Partners are expected to support Polestar’s commitment to protecting the environment and limiting our overall environmental impact throughout the value chain. This involves taking a proactive approach towards reducing the environmental footprint of their operations, products and services, including through reducing emissions and conserving resources. In this respect, Business Partners are expected to support the move towards a circular economy. They are also expected to put similar environmental expectations on their own supply chain. General expectations Business Partners are expected to have: - an environmental management program, which monitors the use of resources to ensure efficiency; identifies and mitigates any related risks; and allows them to continuously improve their environmental performance; Page 6 of 12 - an open dialogue with Polestar on environmental matters, and cooperate with them to improve our, as well as their own, performance. Business Partners should also be transparent and provide Polestar with any necessary environmental data, when requested; - procedures in place to manage environmental performance of own business partners; - procedures in place to communicate environmental performance with relevant stakeholders and affected parties, when applicable. Environmental impact of Business Partners’ operations Where relevant, Business Partners are expected to perform activities that aim at reducing their environmental impact, including but not limited to: - Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions occurring in their own operations, as well as their wider value chain; - Increasing energy efficiency and their use of renewable energy; - Air quality control & emissions management; - Supporting the reduction of waste, through reuse & recycling, and the provision of sustainable material; - Water quality & consumption management; - Ensuring the safe management of chemicals used in operations and products. Responsible Sourcing of Minerals and Metals Business Partners are expected to use only minerals and metals that have been extracted and traded in such a way that does not contribute to human rights abuses, unethical business conduct (e.g. corruption), environmental damage or funding for conflicts. Business Partners are expected to ensure that they and their suppliers exercise due diligence within their operations to ensure metals and minerals are responsibly sourced and traded. They should make available these due diligence measures to Polestar upon request. Business Partners are also required to fully support and co- operate with Polestar’s efforts to secure full transparency and traceability of their 3TG and cobalt supply chain. Page 7 of 12 Precautionary Principle Polestar also expect Business Partners to always apply the precautionary principle, which means that they are expected to always take precautionary measures whenever there is reason to believe that a potential action may negatively impact the health or safety of a person, society or the environment. C. Business Integrity As the business relationship between Polestar and its Business Partners must be based on trust, transparency, honesty and accountability, Business Partners are expected to conduct their business ethically and with the utmost integrity, which includes: Anti-Corruption Business Partners and their subcontractors must conduct their operations and transactions in compliance with applicable laws and regulations relating to anti-bribery and anti-corruption. In line with Polestar’s zero tolerance for bribery and corruption, Business Partners and their subcontractors shall never engage in, or tolerate, any act or omission that could possibly be construed as a form of bribery or corruption. Consequently, Business Partners must ensure that they do not offer or receive any form of inappropriate benefit (gift, favour or hospitality)3 with the intention to improperly influence a business decision, whether it involves government officials or private individuals. Business Partners are encouraged to pay particular attention to the following situations that are usually considered more risky when it comes to bribery and corruption: - interactions with public officials: certain stricter rules apply when dealing with public officials; for example, facilitation payments are always forbidden; - use of intermediaries, in particular agents: many cases of bribery involve third party intermediaries (sales consultants, agents, brokers, etc.) that may use part of their remuneration to provide bribes; intermediaries must be chosen on the basis of appropriate selection criteria and due diligence; - donations to charity, associations or political parties and sponsoring activities: these activities can be routes for bribery and corruption. As a principle, Polestar expects its Business Partners to refrain from providing gifts, favours or hospitality to Polestar directors, officers and employees. In all cases, social amenities offered by Business Partners to Polestar employees: - cannot be intended to improperly influence the recipient’s business judgement or create the appearance of doing so; - must be customary and appropriate business courtesies, i.e. they should not embarrass Polestar or harm its reputation; - must be reasonable in value and frequency. 3 The notion of inappropriate benefit includes, but is not limited to such as monetary gifts, monetary loans, pleasure trips or vacations, luxury goods, concealed commissions or kickbacks.

Page 8 of 12 Should a Polestar employee ask for any improper payment or incentive in breach of this Code, Business Partners are expected to notify Polestar in accordance with section E below, even if the request is denied. Business Partners are also expected to ensure that all of their reports, records and invoices are accurate and complete, and that they contain no false or misleading information. Conflict of Interest Any situation that may involve a conflict of interest, or the appearance of a conflict of interest, between Polestar and its Business Partners must be avoided: the professional judgement, performance or decision-making ability of an employee of Polestar or of the Business Partner must remain independent from considerations that do not involve the business at hand and cannot be (or seem to be) influenced by private interests. Consequently, the interest of Polestar and/or the Business Partner on the one hand and the personal interests of their respective employees (or those of a relative, a friend or a close relation) on the other hand must be kept separate. Business Partners are expected to notify Polestar in accordance with section E below if: - a Business Partner’s director, officer or employee (or any of their relatives) has a personal relationship (e.g., is a family member or a friend) with a Polestar employee who is in a position to make (or influence) decisions which may benefit the Business Partner’s business; or - an employee of Polestar (or their family members) has any sort of involvement in, or financial ties with, a Business Partner. Similarly, Polestar employees are required to disclose to their manager any potentially conflicting relationship with, and/or interest in, a Business Partner before making a business decision or recommendation regarding said Business Partner. Fair Competition and Business Practices Polestar strives to act at all times as a fair and responsible market participant and expects the same from its Business Partners. Thus, Business Partners are required to comply with applicable competition laws and regulations (also referred to as anti-trust laws). In particular, Business Partners must refrain from entering into any understanding or agreement that would hinder competition either with their competitors or with their own business partners. This applies to any arrangement that influences prices, terms of sales (including discounts), strategies or customer relations, markets, market shares, customers or territories (particular care is expected regarding the participation of Business Partners in tender procedures). This also applies to the exchange of sensitive information4 or to any other conduct that unlawfully restricts or may restrict competition. Should a Business Partner have interactions with a competitor of Polestar, the Business Partner must not share any of Polestar’s sensitive information with the competitor and vice versa, even via third parties. 4 Examples of “sensitive information” include (but are not limited to) non-public information on prices, costs, profit margins, sales plans, capacity utilization, product plans and market shares. Page 9 of 12 Business Partners are also expected to compete fairly and ethically for all business opportunities. They must ensure that all statements, communications and representations to Polestar are accurate and truthful. Trade Sanctions and Export Control When conducting business with Polestar, Business Partners are required to comply with all trade sanctions that are applicable to Polestar and with all relevant export control laws and regulations. Trade sanctions restrict trade and financial transactions with certain countries, companies, organizations and individuals, while export controls restrict the export and re-export of certain “controlled” goods, software, and technology without the required licenses or other authorization from the relevant authority. Violation of these rules may expose Polestar to significant penalties and other adverse consequences. Furthermore, Business Partners must (as applicable): - not (a) be designated as a Listed Person5 or (b) engage in any conduct that could reasonably be expected to cause them to be designated as a Listed Person; - refrain from (a) conducting any business activity, directly or indirectly, with any Listed Person, including by supplying to Polestar items sourced from a Listed Person, (b) conducting any business activity prohibited or restricted under trade sanctions or export control laws applicable to Polestar, or (c) engaging in any transaction that evades, or attempts to violate restrictions under any trade sanctions or export control laws applicable to Polestar; - ensure that Polestar’s products and services are not sold, or in any other way made available, to a comprehensively sanctioned country or territory or to a Listed Person; - maintain necessary export or re-export licenses or other authorizations for all goods, software and technology supplied to Polestar; and - provide to Polestar all information and documentation necessary to support Polestar’s compliance with relevant export controls when exporting or re-exporting goods, software or technology. Protecting Polestar’s Confidential Information and Intellectual Property Polestar may share confidential information and/or intellectual property elements with its Business Partners in the course of their business relationship. Business Partners are required to handle Polestar’s confidential information in accordance with the confidentiality provisions in place and in particular: - protect Polestar’s confidential information from improper disclosure, theft or misuse by taking all adequate steps to safeguard such confidential information; - only disclose Polestar’s confidential information to their directors, officers and employees with a legitimate “need to know”; 5 "Listed Person" means (i) any individual, company, entity or organization designated for trade sanctions or export control restrictions on a list published by the EU, US, UN or other relevant country or authority, or otherwise subject to such trade sanctions or export control restrictions, and (ii) companies, entities or organisations that are owned 50 percent or greater by any combination of Listed Persons, or controlled by a Listed Person. Page 10 of 12 - not to share Polestar’s confidential information with a competitor of Polestar , unless Polestar has given prior written consent; - report in accordance with section E below any loss of, or unauthorized access (by a director, officer or employee who does not have a need-to-know or a third party) to Polestar’s confidential information; and - at the end of the business relationship, handle confidential information in accordance with the confidentiality provision in place and recognize that confidentiality obligations survive the end of the business relationship. If they have access to Polestar’s intellectual property in the course of the business relationship, Business Partners are required to handle such intellectual property in the same way and in particular protect it from improper disclosure, theft or misuse at all times.
